notes:1 - The device is not rooted ( i have posted below how to root it)2 - The Market crashed all the time (i have posted how to fix this issue)3 - I have tested the device with a 2TB hd connected and it works perfect.4 - Connected a usb hub and works perfect5 - Connected a usb wireless mouse and works perfect.6 - Bluetooth external dongle its not supported7 - 3g external dongle is not supported8 - Netflix works ok ( the android application SUCKS but it works)

1 - Uncompressed the cx-01.zip file into your pc.2 - Connect the cx-01 into your pc. Wait some minutes until it finishes to "boot". In the pc will show you that will need to install a driver.3 - When the installation driver screen appears, select advanced option to select the folder driver from the file that you have already uncompressed it.4 - when finished installed the driver go to the folder Root-Script5 - run Root-Script.bat

Root-Script.bata - Select option 1 and verify the connection if OKb- Select option 2 and check if your device can be rooted (with this script)c - if its ok select option 3 when finished the CX-01 will be rebooted.

note: To copy this you need the es explorer configured as root. then you will be able to copy it.

reboot the device an you will have it rooted and with the market fixed. Update all your applications.

I dont know yet but i may be doing a script that fixes some bugs and roots the tablet all in one click or something like that, but that takes time and work. also im still waiting the original rom so i can tweak it better i don't want brick the cx-01. Next quick update will be full market. but untill i dont get a full signed firmware. i will not be working on any thing that can brick the tablet.

Yesterday, we got Linux kernel 3.0.8 source code from Telechips, as well as some files related to Android 4.0 (Webkit + OMX). Today, I’ve had a look at the kernel source code and found a few very interesting things.

The kernel modules are located in build_modules directory. There are only 2 kernel modules: gspca_main.ko (video driver) and scsi_wait_scan.ko.

I cannot give it a try now, as I haven’t received the hardware yet. The other thing I would like to get before hacking CX-01 mini PC is a recovery firmware, and the eventual tools to recover the device when something bad happens. I’ve contacted PandaWill to try to get it. The bootloader code would also be nice, but not an absolute must. However, I believe it’s unlikely we’ll get the bootloader source code since Telechips does not appear to have released it for the older versions of its TCC processors.

It haven’t looked into the source code in details yet, but hopefully, this will allow developers to customize the firmware running on Telechips TCC8925 based mini PCs such as CX-01 mini Android TV Box or Zero Devices Z900.

It seems that there are similar devices like the CX-01 like c77 or other basically all are the same but the sometime have some different issues in the firmware. i was told in some devices you can use adb because usb debug is not enable and you cant access to the .development menu due it is not shown.

so to show the development settings menu install a terminal emulator en the device and type the following line. it will bring up the development menu.

Pandawill finally managed to release CX-01 firmware (234 MB) about a week ago. This firmware can be used for devices with 4 or 8 GB flash memory (2 separate directories). You only need to update the firmware if your device has some serious problems, or if CX-01 gets a proper firmware update (we can always dream…).

Now connect the mini USB to USB cable to your computer (but not to the CX-01 just yet), press the Fn key and insert the mini USB cable into the CX-01, until it is detected by Windows and complete the driver installation. Once this is done, the Area Map section you show the NAND Data and MTD partitions. Click on the Start button to start flashing the new firmware to the device.

Once you see “Download is complete! (1st)” the update is complete. This is the log for the update:============================================FWDN V7 -- v2.22============================================

1 - Root the cx-012 - un compress the cx-01CX-01 Tatubias Tweak Fix 0.43 - copy any apk that you want to auto install alone into the apk directory4 - connect the cx-01 to the PC and wait some minutes until is finished to boot.5 - run the patch.bat file6 - reboot

HelloI have a request could you describe mate step by step how you did Uptade cabletech'a?Follow the above instructions but CABLETECH no xpek the Fn button and it does not recognize and does not install the drivers.Please helpThanks in advanceYours.

That drivers for TCC8925 work only with WINDOWS XP. VISTA/7 doesnt work,

So waiting for new release.

Thanx and best Regards

Paul

WOW - thank you. I have been searching non stop for days. Have been running from the CX-01 discussions on Pandawill forum and all the root and upgrades are working for the Cabletech. Except without a Fn button I can't enter FWDN mode to flash the custom ROM there. I ran the recovery command in adb and it wiped all the bloatware from the stick and put it back to stock Android, but the one thing that won't work is the Play Store. Not only that, you can't actually sign in with a Google Account. I assume this is why the Play Store won't work (you press the icon, it shows the grey store screen loading for a second, then exits with no error). Wiping cache, resinstalling, running the update scripts don't work.

Is there anyway around this?

I've opened the stick and there is no (obvious) switch inside to enable FWDN mode. I've read that you can possible short 2 connections to enable it, but of course with no knowledge of this I'm not going to bother.

Now I FINALLY know what this stick is actually called, I'll keep searching. But any help would be appreciated. Thanks
